Data were extracted from the administrative database of the Health Protection Agency of Pavia, starting from the index event and until 24\u00a0months. Data analyses were conducted for the primary and secondary outcomes. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were fitted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 9186 participants (74.7% women), aged 78 years, 12.7% initiated an AFT, and half of them (6.3%) within 6 months after the index FF. Comparing pre- and post- IHCP implementation phases, the appropriateness of AFT initiation increased in subjects with index humerus\/wrist FF, oral AFT prescription decreased, while subcutaneous or intravenous treatments increased (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Total adherence to AFT slightly increased. The re-fracture rate was 5.2 per 100 person\/year, with age, IHCP implementation, and hip FF associated with a higher likelihood of refracture. The mortality rate was 13.4 per 100 person\/year, with age, male gender, IHCP, and hip fracture as independent risk factors. Appropriate AFT significantly reduced mortality compared to no treatment (HR 0.55), with one-year adherence showing the strongest benefit (HR 0.18). Adherent patients had threefold lower mortality than non-adherent ones. Hip and vertebral fractures had an increased death risk (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) compared to wrist and\/or humerus.
